These Saturday readings are (not usually) bearing in on any one thing or event in my life, as the question used is asking for a more general outlook. This is a self care exercise, and is not meant as a predictive reading… although that, too, happens on occasion.
The question is… What do I need to focus for self-care through the week ahead?
Earth – Asmita – Breathe deep and let go of the blockages you feel building up inside you as you are confronted with difficulties this week. Not everything in life is pass-or-fail. Consider what the universe is trying to teach you in these experiences. For example, forcing you to outfit your account with admins is an inconvenience, but also allows you a chance to connect with others and examine your friendships and relationships in another light.
Air – Saucha – Focus on clarity and cleansing. Good mental health hygiene needs to be a priority right now, and increasing your diligence in this area is important when things become difficult or challenges arise.
Water – Ujjayi Pranayama – When you are feeling vulnerable, instead of listening to the negative self talk you have going on in your head, take a moment to pause, breathe, and remember your past accomplishments. Remind yourself of the survivor that you are and all the amazing things you are capable of.
Fire – Clear Quartz – Use the tools at your disposal to keep a clear and grounded view of what’s going on from one day to the next. No over-inflation from anxiety or doom-saying from your pessimistic tendencies allowed.
Waning – Two of Clubs and Eight of Diamonds – Sticking with what you know and being resistant to making plans would be a detriment this week. Be open to possibilities for future endeavors and opportunities to expand upon your skills and abilities instead of shutting down those options.
Waxing – Two of Diamonds and Eight of Spades – Take care not to ignore your limitations on how much you can take on and juggle. What doesn’t overwhelm you today could be the last straw tomorrow. Be vigilant in protecting your balance from ego’s enthusiasm and pride.
Take Away – Those inner narratives of negativity and pessimism are on the rise this week, and riding on their coattails is the influence of anxiety. Step up in your mental health care in order to cut these issues off at the ankles and keep them from coming in with unneeded chaos and uncertainty. Don’t bury yourself in work in an effort to hide, either, as that’s just going to cause more problems later on down the line.
